All of my casual browsing is done now exclusively on Lemmy. If I look for an answer or an opinion that’s when I dip into Reddit.

Once RiF went, so did I. After I replaced the app location in my phone with Connect, I didn't have any reason to spontaneously visit Reddit.

As long as I can use RES, I'll still visit when I'm searching for an answer.

Ditched! Didn’t look back. Really enjoying lemmy and content is picking up.

I'm caught between the two at the moment.

My Reddit app (Relay) is still working for now so I'm using that to browse the few communities that don't have a foothold here yet.

Once Relay kicks the bucket I'll be forced to browse in Firefox with uBlock and that'll definitely cut down the amount of time I spend on there.

I started by switching to Lemmy, loved it, but as I read more about Kbin I decided to give it a shot to combine both content aggregation and microblogging in one account. A bit less polished than Lemmy and no mobile apps yet, although some are in early development and testing, but I've been really enjoying having quick access to the best of both worlds.

I pretty much did already, still check on 2 or 3 communities when I am front of a computer but I hope lemmy while become more active and I will not feel like I am missing out.

[–] iamthatis@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Considering how quickly the third party system is coming up for Lemmy, I envision my reddit engagement to drop to zero soon enough. For now, Lemmy just doesn't have all the info that Reddit has and that is fine considering Reddit has been there for a long while

A mix between hacker news and Lemmy

[–] Leilys@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. I'm looking forward to better search functionality on instances though. It's kind of hard to search if something's been asked or posted already on mobile (using Liftoff, but I've also tried Jerboa and Connect)

[–] SuperHumanNot@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I'm replacing Reddit with Lemmy.

Mostly, yeah.

[–] Rev@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

So far am trying too. I usully get most of my news from reddit during normal use. Would normally browse by Hot on R/all and first few posts were typically "important" news articles. Don't really see the same amount of posts here. Maybe will pick up during election season or will have to break down and find a more dedicated news server.

[–] dbzwarrior313@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I want to! But there is a lot missing that I miss about reddit that isn't active here like squared circle and anime. I think it will take a while for most of that to build up here but it is solely missed but I don't want to use reddit anymore due to their terrible practices.

[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Lemmy at home, reddit at work. Lemmy has WAY too much porn on the main page for work...

[–] Krause@lemmygrad.ml -2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I already did 😁
